Who won't be there? Sony, for one. Sega is also skipping. NCSoft? No show. Capcom also won't be showing E for All any love. Midway? They're skipping. I hear they know a better party a few streets down. Those are some major players who won't be there. But then again, it's possible that E for All isn't for us; it could be just a show that's hoping to draw in gamers with the few companies exhibiting what they do have, and make up for the rest with swag and tournaments and the like. That's both a blessing and a curse, since E for All has the freedom to do whatever it wants, but it's also an unproven show.

At E3, many writers were commenting that they didn't believe E for All was going to happen at all, but I'm not of that mindset. I think they have a few big companies behind them already, and the prices for the tickets aren't so high as to be unreasonable. Many people in the gaming media just don't know what to make of it, and E for All isn't being very helpful.

I have my media pass locked in, the question stands: will it be worth the trip?
